House Republicans will gather today to select their next leader for the upcoming Congress.

It was great to break down the race on CNN ahead of today's vote.

Patrick McHenry, former US Congressman and Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is making headlines for questioning his decision to split the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts. At Stablecon, he explained why he made that call.

Speaking with Stablecon CEO Sanjib Kalita, @PatrickMcHenry explained that he hoped separating the bills would help secure support from Congresswoman Maxine Waters. That support never materialized.

Now, with broader US crypto legislation still unresolved, McHenry is publicly reflecting on that decision and the opportunity the industry may have missed.

It's why we bring policymakers and industry leaders together at Stablecon: to have the conversations shaping the future of stablecoins, regulation and financial infrastructure.

Chip manufacturers have been given billions in taxpayer dollars yet we have higher prices for American consumer goods.

President Trump got it right when he brought in industry for data center buildout and said taxpayers & consumers shouldn't be worse off for this build out. Thats what needs to happen on chips.

Steve Ricchetti discusses if and how Democrats should approach investigations and impeachments.

Former Rep. @PatrickMcHenry (R-NC) responds: "You always start off with a reasonable plan and events overtake."

@TheStalwart Making law is hard. It requires cooperation, good will, political will/pressure and action within a tight calendar. One sound bite cannot explain a legislative battle years in the making.

Two key points here:
1) CLARITY is only part of the story. Compared to two years ago there's been massive bipartisan progress on crypto, and from four years ago a dramatic improvement.  

2) On CLARITY the fact is that we got to September where nothing would ever be good enough because you’re in a political cycle. In the end Democrats walked away from an excellent compromise that they simply refused because you’re in that political cycle.

🚨NEWS: Former House Financial Services Chairman @PatrickMcHenry says crypto blew its best chance to pass market structure legislation and admits he shares some of the blame.

In a candid conversation, he breaks down what went wrong with the Clarity Act, where the industry and lawmakers fell short, and how crypto should prepare for Democrats taking control of Congress in January.

Leadership elections are tough -- big personalities, hurt feelings, and maybe even betrayal. @SpeakerMcCarthy talks about how to ensure the conference is ready to move forward, in one direction, after you win.

Candidates for House Republican leadership positions have been announced. What happens next?

We talked with one of the best whips in the business, @PatrickMcHenry, about what it takes to get the votes needed to win.

I joined my friends for Glory, Grief & the Gavel to discuss how vote outcomes are created, the art of whipping and why the behind the scenes work in Congress is *the* most interesting stuff. Please give is a watch (or listen)

Being a great whip is a lot like being a music producer: knowing what you're listening for, but only after completely immersing yourself. - @PatrickMcHenry

Loved this take.

[Kristen Soltis Anderson @KSoltisAnderson]

So, what now? The scale of GOP loss *should* trigger the soul-searching to rebuild. Sleepwalking into 2028 with nothing but reheated MAGA leftovers – “Tariffs, with less charisma!” – is a poor idea.

Some old-school Republicans may long for a return to the “before times”. That too is a mistake; the pre-Trump GOP had its own problems with working class, Latino, and younger voters.

There is no going back, only forward.

The way forward for Republicans will have to prioritize working Americans in a way that doesn’t just aim to outbid Democrats when it comes to big government.

It will have to prioritize rule of law and security while rejecting heavy-handed tactics and violations of civil liberties.

It will have to make the case for commonsense cultural values that are broadly held.

It will have to articulate a vision for America’s role in the world that is focused on advancing our interests through our leadership.

It will have to have something thoughtful to say about human dignity and flourishing in the face of a technological revolution that may transform our economy and society at light speed.

The loss is so broad and deep that every faction on the right will see it as a repudiation of their rivals' brand of Republican politics--and they'll be right!
